Good friends: Demi Moore invited her ex-husband Bruce Willis and his new girlfriend Emma Heming to the premiere of her film Flawless in New York. The couple's daughter Tallulah also attended last night's event

Bruce's former and current flame – who observers have regularly noted look strikingly similar - mingled happily on the red carpet without a hint of awkwardness.

They were joined by Bruce and Demi's youngest daughter Tallulah Belle, 14, as their other daughters Rumer, 19, and Scout, 16, sat the night out.

The 45-year-old actress's husband Ashton Kutcher, 30, also missed the event – he was back in LA where he is filming the comedy Spread, in which he plays a serial womaniser.

"He said: 'Dude, you've got to do whatever it takes to get the kids and all the spouses or the girlfriend together. You've got to show your kids it's okay.'

"It was like a light went on. Ding. In the luck of the draw I am fortunate to have Ashton in the family.

"It took a long time for people to wrap their minds around the fact that I could be friends with my ex-wife's new husband, but we are friends."
